I move amendment No. 16:

In page 12, to delete line 4 and substitute the following:“(f) in subsection (8)—

(i) by the substitution of “certificate” for “notice” in each place it occurs, and

(ii) by the substitution of “under subsection (11)” for “under subsection (7)”,

and”.

These amendments provide for consistency with the wording used in section 31 of the Teaching Council Act 2001 by making provision for the council to issue to a registered teacher a certificate, as opposed to a notice of registration, upon renewal of registration. As a consequence of this provision some updating of other references to notices and cross-referencing within section 33 is also required. The overall effect of these amendments is that the council will, when renewal of registration has been completed, issue to the registered teacher a certificate of registration
